SEO is often described as a combination of art and

Driven by regulation and cost cutting, look for content management
applications to take a place next to ERP and CRM as the next wave of
enterprise 'must-have' software in 2005.

Two years ago, when 2003 was just getting under way and the ubiquitous
technology prediction stories were being published, you were unlikely to
find one that predicted big things for content management. By the time
